Managed Layout
Why?
Manufacturing Layout – created in Line Designer
Material flow simulation – optimize throughput and find bottlenecks based on the layout
Robotic/Human simulation – add kinematics and detailed motions to the layout
Process Planning – link product with process and equipment in the layout
are working on the same data seamlessly.
eliminated media breaks
Efficient management of changes
Leading to always consistent data, improving the engineering quality and reducing engineering efforts.

Plant Simulation / Teamcenter
Integration Architecture / Principles
Teamcenter acting as a data source for Plant Simulation
Data is being transferred by means of Application
Interface and PLM-XML/JT
In Plant Simulation the PLM-XML/JT transfer can be
used to be incorporated into a simulation model (or build
a first skeleton of a simulation model). The model build
needs to be tailored/customized per customer
Update scenarios are possible: Layout, processes,…
Plant Simulation results are being stored as SPP
datasets to Teamcenter workflow control / revisioning
in context with process planning
HTML report of Plant Simulation can be managed as
well in Teamcenter collaboration
